hi--
i have EPIs and some anatomicals--
after having collected EPIs the subject moved quite a bit, so i have EPIs that are >10mm out of registration in Z-axis from my anats.
3dvolreg will not tolerate this kind of shift. I tried using 3dTaglign, with an EPI as the -master.
I then used the 3dWarp with the mfile to register my other anats to the master EPI, and 3dvolreg to bring all my other EPIs into registration with the master EPI--so i have anats and EPIs in the same space as my master EPI.
Problem is that 3dWarp interpolates my anats, which i don't want. Were it not for the subject having moved so much, I usually would have shifted my EPIs to match my anats, but for a number of reasons (not here described) i can't.
Question is: how can i give 3dvolreg (or some other program) a best guest to shift the EPIs that >10mm intially, and then start the passes through the series?
the -coarse option seems like it could be useful, but i am not sure.
suggestions?
